PEACH [ rem— 2 msnaw s ] (Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literarv Press.) The manager of the Avenue Garage turned with an anxious face from the telephone. He looked across at the | neat, well-dressed young fellow loung- | ing in his office. “By George! I'm in for it! agreed 10 have my best driver here for | a yarty this afternoon, and I haven't B0t a man on the place; and here's u ! call from the best customer I have. 1 can’t go myself.” The young fellow straightened up.! “Look not so worried, Gleason, why | wouldn't I do?” The manager stared, then his anx ious face eased. “Hilton, if you will | do this for me, I'll be your slave for the next decade. Dut if you go, re member you aren't driving that bis speeder of yours, and forget, too, that you are the only son of a multi-mil lionaire, and remember that you aren’t to talk unless you're asked to. But if you Wil help me out 1 will remember | '; much of his six feet as he could into it, I assure you.” “Oh, I'm game; it's a new kind of « lark; and I will remember.” A little later, as he seated himself in the big touring car, in a snug chauf feur's uniform, he turned to Gleason “I guess I'll keep the goggles on, so if 1 should happen to meet some of my friends. Now where s it?" “1987 First avenue—" “What! Why, man alive, there's where a girl lives whom 1 have been trying to convince that I am just the right age to marry.

He drew his heavy pog 2les far down over his eyes, sunk as i(hv seat, drew the hat down until it hid the kinks in his hair, and drew up in front of the residence of Senator Vernon. A mald had evidently been on the watch, for in a few minutes the trim, girlish figure of the girl he loved came lightly down the broad steps, and was handed into the car by the footman. Hilton thanked his stars that she gave him not a glance. His hand went to the brakes, then vaused on her order. Hilton swore softly and tenderly un- der his breath; for coming serenely to- ward him was his most earnest rival, Sidney Farland. Hilton wondered what was going to happen; he found out. A sweet volce behind him sald: “Good morning, Sidney, I am going for a little spin out and back; are you going down?” Hilton hoped to heaven that he never appeared so eager for an invita- tion or accepted one as eagerly as Far- land did | They rolled off, Farland chatting be- hind in his eager, impetuous way, and Hilton, himself, humped down in his seat feeling like swearing impetuously. It was a pretty how-do-you-do acting as chauffeur for a sweetheart and a rival. He listened to the merry chatter be- hind him, and the gall in his thoughts grew bitter. He, himself, even came up for a topic of conversation, and she sald lttle, Farland very industriously went on to amplify into little detalls the miserable story that he had heard was going the rounds about him -all a lle. Hilton was sure he had found out who was industrious in sprending it; but the thought did not serve to sweeten his viewpolint on life As they drew near the strects lead- ing to the business section, Hilton was in hopes that Farland would ask to be dropped, but far from it, and the next thing he knew, she was askinz him to go with her on the spin. They whirled out onto the -mooth state road. It was a glorion: day— just the kind of a day to mal« Learts beat faster, especially heartc 1t are in love.

She looked at his begoggled face still coldly, though there was a strain- ed appearance about her expression. He went on hastily, “But I've learn- ed the truth.” Then she laughed as if Immensely pleased. “Why, foollsh, I knew it was you from the moment you appeared and whirled that car up as only you can; then those little teeny, kinky eurls under your cap -a woman's eyes can see. You didn’t fool me a mo ment.” Then her face softened, strangely, wonderfully. “It was foolish of you to run the car into the ditech when you did for I was going to say—" “What?" he gasped. She slipped back from the machine to the steps. Something in the glint of her eyes, the polse of her figure, made him grip the wheel tight. “Just opposite what I shall say to you, if you will come up tonight thirty minutes after Farland.” Then she dis- appeared.
